Thanks, Jon and Volker
I filed a new bug report to track this issue:
JDK-8076581 - Need a NON-PCH build to quickly detect missing dependencies in the source base has been successfully created.

Date: Thu, 2 Apr 2015 18:06:01 +0200 From: Volker Simonis <volker.simonis at gmail.com> To: HotSpot Open Source Developers <hotspot-dev at openjdk.java.net> Hi, while precompiled headers (PCH) are a nice and effective way of improving hotspot build times this feature also drastically increases the risk of introducing missing dependencies into the source base. This is especially annoying on platforms where precompield headers aren't available at all. In the last two weeks we had two cases [1,2] of such missing dependencies which haven't been caught by JPRT because JPRT uses the default platform settings and thus always uses PCHs on all platforms where they are supported. I want to strongly advocate for a change in the JPRT configurations such that at least on one Windows and one Linux platform the automatic pre-integration builds are done with "--with-debug-level=[slow/fast]debug --disable-precompiled-headers". This simple change which comes at the minor cost of a few CPU-cycles will save a big amount of (hopfully) much more precious developer cycles and at the same time considerably improve the code quality. Notice that I intentionally ask for a *debug build without PCHs because debug builds exercise much more source code and are specifically prone to missing include dependency errors. As this change can only be decided upon and implemented inside Oracle I hereby kindly ask for an appropriate sponsor.
